It lists the colours of 13 houses (counting Yendi's intentional lack of distinguishing colours among those 13), none of which use grey except the Jhereg--although some of the four houses without listed colours certainly might. Besides this neat little page, Dr Mandel's Cracks and Shards entire web site is very handy--possibly the best Dragaera page out there, although there are other good ones as well (I love the pronunciation guide on http://dragaera.info/ ). -- J A Dusty Sayers Home Page http://www.sayersnet.com/~dusty/ Rescue the Princess http://www.sayersnet.com/~dusty/rescue/ 'Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.' --C S Lewis
